-
n | nK
-
specifies the maximum macro variable size in multiples of
1 (bytes) and 1,024 (kilobytes). You can specify decimal values for the number
of kilobytes. For example, a value of 8 specifies 8 bytes, and a value of
0.782k specifies 801 bytes.
- hexX
-
specifies the maximum macro variable size as a hexadecimal
value. You must specify the value beginning with a number (0-9), followed
by hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F), and then followed by an X. For example,
the value 2dx sets the maximum macro variable size to 45 bytes and a value
of 0a0x sets the maximum macro variable size to 160 bytes.
-
MIN
-
sets maximum macro variable size to 0 and
requires SAS to use the default value.
-
MAX
-
sets maximum macro variable size to 65,534.
